title: [Neurofibromatosis type 1 associated arteriopathy. Case report and literature review].
abstract: Reported is the case of a 36-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type 1 with lethal haemorrhage from rupture of the left common iliac artery. Histologically and immunohistochemically, no hints on angiodysplasia as a possible cause of bleeding were detected. Considering the literature and the histological findings in the area of rupture, a local weakness of the vascular wall caused by the neighbouring neurofibromatous proliferates was most probably the reason for bleeding.
